Opened.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.Merge, as I said in the Is this tropeworthy/Chairs thread.
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallI'll go with merging as well.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.Merge ”gossipy male barber” examples with Chatty Hairdresser and rewrite that description to be less femme-centric to accommodate.
The concept of “the town is so small the barber is also the doctor and the handyman” seems beyond that though. Is there a better-fitting trope than New Jobs As The Plot Demands?

Merge and adjust Chatty Hairdresser if necessary.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupThis is not that relevant, but it might need its own trope.
Merging sounds good.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportThat trope might work if Tropes Are Flexible would allow it, but I'm not 100% sure. The description isn't quite clear as to whether it only applies to having one job at a time (as opposed to having more than one and alternating between them), though the trope used to be called Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?, if that matters.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.I'd rather yard that, as that's a well known own thing about snall towns.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupMerge, yard Omnidisciplinary Employee/Super Employee or something like that as a related trope to NJATPD/Super Doc.
Edit: True. Good catch.

Vehicle-Based Characterization | Grief-Induced Split | Locker MailAlso Schoolmarm may be related.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupIt's in your merge proposal though. That would mean expanding Chatty Hairdresser to allow such cases, so I just wanted to clarify.

Oh, right, forgot about this. But if we're agreeing on making a separate trope for this then it might not be within this thread's scope. Anyone can draft a different trope from TRS.
move examples that fit over to Chatty Hairdresser, cut the original page / redirect to Hair Tropes. I think New Jobs As The Plot Demands or its subtrope Renaissance Man can cover the idea Synch discussed.
I'm fine with this, except maybe we could disambiguate The Barber between Chatty Hairdresser, New Job as the Plot Demands, and Renaissance Man instead of redirecting to Hair Tropes. (I don't have a strong opinion on disambiguating vs. redirecting. However, I do think Renaissance Man might catch some of the usage that was brought up; I don't think I already knew about that trope.)

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.Not a fan of disambiguating here.
Either redirect or merge.
I’m leaning on merging.
Merge
Kirby is awesome.I think a merge is better than a disambig, so count me in for merging as well.
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.to Merge and adjustments to Chatty Hairdresser to make it less female-focused.
Calling in favor of merging.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.This one is quick because it has less than 100 inbounds or wicks (IDK)

The next trope in my Occupation Tropes project is The Barber. I've pointed out that some Occupation Tropes are extremely wide in scope and thus attract ZCES. The description states that this is a "Western gossipy/talkative character who cuts men's hair and shaves their faces," which is tropeworthy but is often ignored and applied for any man who works as a barber. This might also be covered by Chatty Hairdresser, which covers male examples. I'll then check if The Barber has a high ZCE count and if it has a tropeworthy concept in there or if it's redundant with Chatty Hairdresser.
